Fulton County will receive approximately $2.8 million in Federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs. ¬† These funds will be used to provide improvements and services to improve the living conditions of low- and moderate-income citizens throughout Fulton County.

As required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Fulton County is publishing for citizen review and comment, its Annual Action Plans and Consolidated Plan. ¬† The Consolidated Plan requires local governments receiving federal funds directly from HUD, to determine strategies, community needs, long and short-term objectives, resources and proposed projects for submission as a combined planning and application document. ¬† Public input is required before any decisions are made on project funding by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners.

Citizens are encouraged to attend and participate in public hearings to assist the County in finalizing its Draft 2016 Action Plan. ¬† Comments will be submitted to the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, which will consider adoption of the 2016 Action Plan and Amendments at its scheduled meeting on June 1, 2016. ¬† Comments will also be included in the 2016 Annual Action Plan that will be submitted to HUD. ¬†

¬†For citizens unable to attend and participate in the public hearings, written comments on the Fulton County Draft 2016 Action Plan to the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan/Annual Action Plan and proposed Amendments may be submitted; however, written comments must be received by 5:00 p.m. May 27, 2016 at the following address:
